Cons
Con Engine requires special attention
Since this is a two-stroke trimmer, you can’t just pull the string and hope that it starts. First of all, it requires a mixture of gas and oil to run. Additionally, you need to pump the mixture to the carburetor to start it.
Con May fail to start while warm
Some users have been complaining that it is hard to restart the engine when the trimmer is warm. A badly regulated carburetor causes this.
